Loading Building Blocks
The discrete signal paths can be individually loaded with pre-configured, modular templates called building blocks. These blocks
are designed for specific microphones, source devices, analog and digital inputs, and can streamline initial configuration. The
building blocks contain configuration parameters tailored to a selected input device.
Loading a building block configures each block in the signal path with pre-determined parameters to match the selected device
characteristics. Although tailored for the specific device, the processing blocks can still be customized, if necessary.
To load a building block:
Click the input number. The Building Blocks dialog opens.
1.
Choose a building block that best describes the connected input device. As the pointer moves over the selection, the text is

underlined. Click the selection to load the block.
The building block loads pre-configured processor and gain block parameters. Processor blocks are initially bypassed.
If necessary, further customize the processor blocks according to the requirements of the system (see the AXP 64 C AT User

Creating a Physical Dante Network

A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels between AXP 64 C AT and devices such as the DMP 128 AT. The
AXP 64 C AT and the DMP 128 AT each have a four-port switch with four RJ-45 connectors located on the back panel that accept
standard network cables. A DMP 128-based Dante network can be configured in a daisy-chain or star network topology using the
four-port switch and the Dante Controller in switched mode.

Star Network

Star network topology places one DMP 128 AT as the central unit, which connects directly to up to three AXP units (see figure 4).
Alternatively, a larger network switch in place of the central DMP 128 AT allows more than four AXP 64 C ATs to connect in the
star configuration.
